The next day, when he arrived at the army, he found that the five hundred men under his command had all been replaced by a group of passable people. However, in Xin Zhao's eyes, it was far from enough. It was still far inferior to Xin Zhao's soldiers. He thought to himself that Liu Xun seemed to be sincerely trying to rope him in. Otherwise, he would not have done this so quickly. However, Zhao Xin was too lazy to personally train them. Anyway, he was leaving in a few days. Shouchun would probably send someone to pick him up in a few days.
When he saw Gu He, his initial indifference turned into disdain. Zhao Xin was stunned for a moment, but he immediately understood that he had been tricked by Liu Xun. After the transfer of troops, the entire army probably knew that he had sided with Liu Xun.
He had nothing to do for the entire day. When he saw Liu Ying and the others, he had a friendly expression. Zhou Yi looked at him and it was obvious that he was not friendly. Xue Wei still had a friendly expression. In these two days, Zhao Xin had a rough understanding of his generals. Among them, only Xue Wei and Guan Fu were worthy of Zhao Xin's attention.
At night, Zhou Yi and Xue Wei came to visit Zhao Xin. Zhao Xin thought that it seemed that these two people had not given up on him and wanted to persuade him. However, his actions were not what the two of them expected.
Before he could sit properly, Zhou Yi had already stepped forward and said to Zhao Xin,"General Zhao, how can you face Mayor Lu by doing this? "
Zhao Xin pretended to be baffled and said,"General Zhou, what are you talking about? Zhao Yan doesn't understand. If there's anything, please tell Zhao Yan Ming." "
Zhou Yi snorted and said,"You know what it is. Do you still want me to say it out loud?" "
"Zhao Yan really doesn't understand. General Zhou, please tell Zhao Xin!" Zhao Xin said sincerely. "
"Let me ask you. Governor Lu treated you like this, so why did you go to Liu Xun, that bastard?" "
Zhao Xin thought that although this person was rude, his loyalty was commendable. He pretended to be surprised and said,"General Zhou, why do you say this? Why did you say that Zhao Yan defected to General Liu Xun? "
Zhou Yi said,"If you hadn't joined him, would he have changed the weak soldiers under your command and even transferred an elite team to you?" "
Zhao Xin replied,"General Zhou, you misunderstood. Zhao Yan was only telling General Liu Xun that the soldiers under my command were too weak. Therefore, General Liu gave me a change for the sake of Governor Lu." "
Zhou Yi said,"You're lying to a ghost. Liu Xun, that bastard, values his soldiers more than his father. Just based on your words, he will give you five hundred elites." "
Xin Zhao thought to himself that these 500 people were not considered elites. In his eyes, they were just trash. He said to Zhou Yi,"If the general doesn't believe me, then Zhao Yan has no choice." "
Xue Wei had not made a sound since he came in. He only watched Zhou Yi question Zhao Xin. Seeing that Zhou Yi, this boorish man, was far from being Zhao Xin's match, he had no choice but to come out and say something. He said to Zhao Xin,"General was recommended by Governor Lu to serve in the army. Naturally, you should serve Governor Lu. Now that Liu Xun is plotting to seize Lujiang, General must not be deceived and sit down to do something wrong that goes against righteousness! "
Zhao Xin said," I have been indebted to Governor Lu for his kindness. I will do my best to repay him. General Liu is my superior, so I naturally have to respect him. I'm not like some people who have no respect for their superiors." "After saying that, he glanced at Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi knew that Zhao Xin was talking about him and was about to flare up, but Xue Wei quickly stopped him. Xue Wei saw that Zhao Xin's words were ambiguous and he couldn't guess Zhao Xin's true intentions, so he said,"General, think about Young Master Lu and Madam Lu. I won't say anything else. "After saying that, she pulled Zhou Yi and left.
Xin Zhao watched the two of them walk out and thought to himself, This Xue Wei is really amazing. After saying such a sentence, he left without even waiting for me to say anything. Even if it was someone else, they would probably have to think carefully at this moment.
Not long after the two of them left, Lu Xun ran over to see Zhao Xin. Looking at Lu Xun's expression, Zhao Xin felt a little uncomfortable. He patted Lu Xun's head and said,"Xun 'er, how's your uncle these past two days? "
Lu Xun thought to himself,"She's still the same. She can't even get out of bed." "
Zhao Xin sized up Lu Xun and said,"Xun 'er, do you know who will be in charge of the government affairs of Lujiang City after your great-uncle fell ill?" "
Lu Xun raised his head and said," I know. General Liu Xun and my great-uncle's aides will handle it. What's wrong, Uncle Zhao?" "
Xin Zhao thought to himself that this kid was too sensitive. He had only asked one question, and he had already noticed that there was a problem. Little did he know that ever since Lu Xun was saved by Zhao Xin, he had a little admiration for Zhao Xin. When he saw Zhao Xin asking about these things, he knew that he must have a point. Otherwise, he would not ask about these things for no reason.
Zhao Xin pondered for a while before asking Lu Xun,""Xun 'er, I'm talking about what if, if one day your great-uncle is no longer around, what plans do you and your mother have? "
Seeing that Lu Xun's eyes had turned red and tears were already welling up in his eyes, Zhao Xin hurriedly said,"Xun 'er, don't take it to heart. I was just talking nonsense. "
Lu Xun said,"Uncle Zhao, I know you're not talking nonsense. I once secretly heard the doctor say that my great-uncle's illness won't last long. It's just that my mother and I don't dare to think about these things." "
Zhao Xin looked at Lu Xun's appearance and sighed in his heart. Could it be that this was just an eleven or twelve year old child? She pitied him in her heart and said,"Xun 'er, don't worry. If that day really comes, your Uncle Zhao will take care of you and your son." "
Lu Xun was touched. Tears rolled down his face as he nodded silently.
In the next few days, Lu Kang gradually became seriously ill. Liu Xun and the others also stepped up their plans to seize Lujiang. Sometimes, they would also look for Zhao Xin to secretly discuss things. Zhao Xin knew that Liu Xun did not trust him very much, so he tried his best not to stand out. He did not give them any advice and just listened quietly. Sometimes, Liu Xun would ask Zhao Xin for his opinion on certain matters, and Zhao Xin would always go along with Liu Xun's wishes.
One day, Liu Xun sent someone to invite Zhao Xin to his residence, saying that he had an important guest to see. Zhao Xin didn't suspect anything and went to the Liu Residence.
When they arrived at the Liu Residence, Liu Xun said to Zhao Xin,""General Zhao, I invited you here today because a big shot is coming to Lujiang. When the time comes, you can meet him and make friends. It will be of great help to your future. "
At this moment, Zhao Xin was shocked. From Liu Xun's tone, it seemed that he was not the main person in this plot to seize Lujiang. So it turned out that there were other forces who wanted to seize Lujiang. It was a pity that Liu Xun, this bastard, did not reveal anything these days. Zhao Xin couldn't help but ponder. Who would want to seize Lujiang? Besides him, it would be Liu Biao and Yuan Shu. Liu Biao and Lujiang were separated by Jiujiang and Yuan Shu, so he probably wouldn't do such a meaningless thing. Moreover, Liu Biao had never been aggressive, so he probably wouldn't do such a thing. However, it was unlikely for Yuan Shu. If he got Lujiang and became his neighbor, he would probably be scared every day. After thinking for a long time, he couldn't figure out who it was. On second thought, he scolded himself for being an idiot. He would know when he met that person. Why did he have to waste his time guessing?
"My lord, I don't know who is coming, so I can be mentally prepared to avoid any mistakes." "
"It's Yuan Gonglu's trusted aide, Lord Li Feng," Liu Xun said. "
Xin Zhao thought that he had heard of Li Feng before, but he had never heard of him in the Three Kingdoms. Where had he heard of him before? After thinking about it carefully, he was shocked. This Li Feng should have escaped from his hands in Hefei. It seemed that he knew him. Once he came, wouldn't his identity be exposed? At that time, he might not be able to save his life. It seemed that he had to find an excuse to leave this place as soon as possible.
He quickly said to Liu Xun,"Forgive Zhao Yan for being ignorant, but he has never heard of Lord Li's great name." "
Liu Xun smiled, thinking that Zhao Yan was really honest. He said,""You haven't been in Lujiang for long, so it's normal that you haven't heard of him. As long as you make friends with him, you don't have to care about anything else. "
After saying that, everyone sat down and waited for Li Feng's arrival. Zhao Xin thought about it, but he couldn't think of a reasonable excuse. Just as he was vexed, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind. Li Feng should have come to Lujiang secretly. He should be able to find an excuse from this point. After thinking for a while, he said,"My lord, something bad has happened. Lu Xun will come to find me today. If he knows that I'm coming to my lord's residence, I'm afraid he will come here to look for me. At that time, I'm afraid he will die."
She wanted to see Liu Xun's reaction before she finished her sentence.
These days, Liu Xun and the others also knew that Lu Xun was very attached to Zhao Xin. He would look for Zhao Xin almost every day.
Liu Xun thought that if Lu Xun came and saw Li Feng, it would probably affect his plan. He might as well let Zhao Yan go back first. After all, without Zhao Yan, it would not affect the big plan. "How could I have forgotten about this matter? How about this, you should hurry back. Anyway, Lord Li will be staying in Lujiang for a period of time. We will meet again in the future." "
When Zhao Xin bid farewell and came out, he saw a carriage coming towards the Liu Residence not far away. It was probably Li Feng. He thought,"That was close."
When he returned and Lu Xun came over, Zhao Xin instructed Lu Xun to look for him every night. This way, he would have an excuse not to see Li Feng. He probably wouldn't dare to show himself in broad daylight.
Zhao Xin had been living in fear for the past two days. He wanted to escape from Lujiang, but when he thought of Lu Xun's lonely appearance, his heart softened. He made up his mind to settle the matter in Lujiang before leaving.
That night, Zhao Xin and Lu Xun were just about to go to bed after chatting when they suddenly heard the sound of something heavy falling to the ground in the courtyard. He grabbed his sword and ran out to take a look. He saw someone in the courtyard looking around. Xin Zhao was bold and said to the man,""Who are you and why are you here? "
When that person heard Zhao Xin's voice, he suddenly wanted to rush towards Zhao Xin.
Xin Zhao warily waved the sword in his hand. That person spread out his hands, indicating that he did not have a weapon. However, Xin Zhao would not let his guard down just like that. The man took a few steps closer and looked at Zhao Xin carefully. He suddenly knelt down and said,"My lord, this subordinate greets my lord! "
"Who are you? Why do you call me that?" Zhao Xin asked in surprise. "
"I am Xu Fan, a subordinate of General Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong. I have been ordered to sneak into Lujiang City to search for my lord." "
"How did Zilong know I was in Lujiang?" Zhao Xin asked suspiciously. "
Xu Fan replied,"My lord, when General Xu Chu arrived at the boundary of Hefei, he sent someone to tell General Zhao Yun that my lord is currently in Lujiang and asked General Zhao Yun to send someone to protect my lord." "
"You just said you were under Zilong's orders. Did Zilong come to Lujiang?" Zhao Xin asked. "
Xu Fan said,"My lord, when General Zhao Yun heard that you were in Lujiang, he was very anxious. After arranging the defense of Hefei, he personally brought 500 elite soldiers to Lujiang." "
"Where is Zilong now?" asked Zhao Xin. "
Xu Fan replied," My lord, General Zhao Yun is outside the city. He's afraid that someone in the city will recognize him, which will hinder my lord's plans. Therefore, he sent his subordinates and more than ten people to the city to find my lord." "
Zhao Xin pondered for a moment, thinking that Zhao Yun had come at the right time. With Zhao Yun's 500 troops, he could fight with Liu Xun, Li Feng, and the others in Lu Jiang City. Perhaps he could even easily take down Lu Jiang City. However, it seemed that he had to talk things over with Xue Wei and Zhou Yi. With their help, he would be able to do something. Moreover, he did not have to worry about being recognized by Li Feng. When necessary, he would publicly break up with Liu Xun. He said to Xu Fan," You and your companions go back first. Tell Zilong that I still have something to do in Lujiang City. I can't go back now. I have something to ask Zilong to do. After you go back and tell Zilong these things, come back and be responsible for the communication between me and Zilong." "
Xu Fan said "yes" and left. Zhao Xin saw that his skills were not bad and thought that Zhao Yun's subordinates were really talented.
These days, Zhao Xin had a rough understanding of the power situation of the entire Lujiang River. Led by Liu Xun, Liu Ying, Zhang Li, Qin Hao, and Guan Fu, they formed a party of five. They had about 60% of Lujiang City's soldiers and controlled the west and south gates of Lujiang. Xue Wei and Zhou Yi were loyal to Governor Lu Kang. They had 25% of the troops under them, and the north gate was in their hands. Gu He was a descendant of the Gu family, a large family in River East. He had 15% of the army and the east gate was in his hands. Gu He was a proud person and did not work for anyone. As for the 500 men under Zhao Xin, Zhao Xin believed that Liu Xun must have arranged for quite a number of them. He could not command them at all.
The next day, Xin Zhao decided to look for Xue Wei. When he saw Xue Wei, Xue Wei was obviously stunned when he saw Xin Zhao looking for him. This was because Xin Zhao's actions these days clearly showed that he was on Liu Xun's side.
"Why, General Xue, are you surprised to see me looking for you?" Zhao Xin asked with a smile. "
Xue Wei nodded and said,"I wonder why General Zhao has come to see Xue Wei?" "
"I wouldn't dare," said Zhao Xin,"but I have a question to ask General Xue." "
"General Zhao, you don't have to be so polite. If you have anything to ask, just ask directly," Xue Wei said. "
Zhao Xin said,"I don't know why General Xue and General Zhou are so determined to fight against General Liu Xun. If it's for your own future, I advise you to join General Liu." "
Xue Wei was furious. He thought to himself,'Zhao Yan, you despicable person. It's fine if you don't repay Mayor Lu's kindness, but instead, you conspired with Liu Xun and the others to seize Mayor Lu's foundation. Now, you're trying to recruit me and Zhou Yi.' If Zhou Yi and I were like you, Zhao Xin, I'm afraid we would have long since voted for that bastard Liu Xun. He said coldly,"I appreciate your kindness, General Zhao. However, I have received the great kindness of Governor Lu. I will never go against Governor Lu. General Zhao, you don't have to waste your breath. You can leave now." Also, I advise you not to go to General Zhou's place, lest you lose face. "
Seeing Xue Wei's reaction, Xin Zhao was very satisfied. He smiled and said to Xue Wei,"I came to discuss important matters with General Xue, but General Xue treated me like this. I'm really disappointed in Zhao Yan. "
Xue Wei couldn't help but curse,"That's called a bullsh * t big deal. Isn't it because you want to rely on Liu Xun and seek fame and wealth? "
Zhao Xinxin thought that it should be enough. He smiled and said,"When did General Xue see me join that Liu Xun? "
When Xue Wei heard this, he was obviously stunned. At this moment, Zhao Xin's tone was not even respectful to Liu Xun. Instead, it was a little mocking. He stuttered,"Don't tell me you're a coward"
Zhao Xin knew that Xue Wei had already guessed his meaning, so he nodded and said," It doesn't matter if General Xue believes it or not. I'm here to discuss with General Xue how to deal with Liu Xun and the others. Moreover, I'm afraid General Xue doesn't know that Liu Xun isn't the mastermind. The mastermind behind this is actually someone else. "
"Who is it that wants to seize Lujiang?" Xue Wei asked in shock. "
Zhao Xin said," It's Jiujiang's Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu's subordinate, Li Feng, is currently in Liu Xun's residence. If you don't believe me, you can send someone to investigate. However, don't alert the enemy." "
When Xue Wei saw Zhao Xin reveal such confidential information, he knew that Zhao Xin could be trusted. It was just that the enemy was powerful now, and with Zhao Xin, a person without power or influence, he could not be of much use.
Looking at Xue Wei's expression, Zhao Xin knew that he did not have much confidence in dealing with Liu Xun. In the past, he had only been holding on with his hot blood. Now that the enemy had added Yuan Shu and the other dukes, it was likely that everyone was powerless. She wanted to tell him her true identity, but on second thought, she felt that it was inappropriate. Although she believed that Xue Wei would not have any ulterior motives towards her, it was still better to be safe. Moreover, he was here now. If something really happened, she had nowhere to run. If she wanted to say it, she had to say it in her own place. She could only say it when he was in her control. Moreover, if he suddenly told him his identity, it was still a question whether he would believe it. He might even treat him as a mental patient.
"I naturally trust General Zhao. I'm afraid that when the time comes, I'll need your help to deal with that traitor Liu Xun." "
Xin Zhao knew that Xue Wei didn't have much confidence now, so it was useless to say anything. He said,"General Xue and General Zhou, find a time to come and find me secretly. We'll have a detailed talk then. I can still get some useful information from Liu Xun, so it's not appropriate to break up with him publicly now. In addition, General Xue might as well go and probe Gu He's intentions. Just be careful. Perhaps Gu He will stand on our side. "
Xue Wei expressed that he would make a trip to Zhao Xin's place with Zhou Yi as soon as possible. Gu Hela would also carefully sound him out.
After returning to the residence and dealing with Lu Xun, the "problem" boy, Zhao Xin thought about how to deal with them. Since he was not alone now, why not let Zhao Yun send people back to bring more people? At that time, he would be more confident in dealing with them. Judging from Liu Xun's recent tone, he might have to wait until Lu Kang died. Now, it depended on whether Lu Kang could hold on until his men arrived. Otherwise, there was little chance of winning. However, he had to discuss this matter with Xue Wei and the other two first. Otherwise, they would think that he was also going to get his hands on Lujiang. If there was any misunderstanding, it would be difficult to cooperate well, even though he really had intentions towards Lujiang.
In the middle of the night, he suddenly heard knocking sounds coming from outside the window. Zhao Xin stood up vigilantly with a weapon in his hand and asked,"Who is it? "
"My lord, it's me, Xu Fan." "
Zhao Xin thought to himself, Xu Fan always comes and goes like a ghost. Why does he always scare me for no reason? He said to the window,"Wait here, I'll open the door for you. "
After letting Xu Fan in, Zhao Xin closed the door. "Thank you, my lord," said Xu Fan. "
Zhao Xin said,"I'm fine, but I'm a little worried about you. It's so late at night. It's been hard on you." "
With Zhao Xin's words, Xu Fan felt that whatever he did for his lord was worth it. He said to Zhao Xin,""My lord, General Zhao Yun ordered me to bring fifty men back to the city to protect you. I was afraid that you would be anxious from waiting, so I rushed back first to inform you. I asked them to secretly disguise themselves and enter the city tomorrow. "
Zhao Xin thought that Zhao Yun had good intentions, but how would he arrange for these fifty people? He had no place to arrange for them here. At that time, people would see that there was something wrong with them at a glance.
Seeing Zhao Xin remain silent, Xu Fan did not dare to make a sound.
After thinking for a while, Zhao Xin smiled bitterly and said,"I don't have any place to arrange for these 50 people to come in!" "
Xu Fan saw that Zhao Xin was obviously thinking about this question, so he said to Zhao Xin," My lord need not worry. General Zhao Yun has already considered this problem, so they will disguise themselves and ambush around my lord's residence. "
Zhao Xin thought to himself, It seems that Zhao Yun is really a great general, considering all the problems for me. Remembering that he wanted Zhao Yun to send someone to Hefei to bring some soldiers, he said to Xu Fan,""Tomorrow, send someone back to tell Zilong to send someone back to Hefei to bring a thousand soldiers to Lujiang. Tell them to split into two groups and quietly come to Lujiang. He glanced at Xu Fan and said,"You can stay here for the night. When dawn comes, you can secretly drive out of the city. When the time comes, I will arrange for you to be a steward in the mansion. At that time, you can stay here openly and be responsible for contacting Zilong." "
Xu Fan didn't dare to refute Zhao Xin's words. He obediently walked to the door and stood there.
Seeing him like this, Xin Zhao held his weapon and was on full alert. He knew that he was going to keep watch for him, so he said,"You don't have to be nervous. It's still relatively safe here. Besides, no one knows my identity now. You can rest in peace. You don't have to keep watch for me. After saying that, she ignored him and went to sleep.
When she woke up in the morning, Xu Fan had already left. After Xin Zhao finished washing up, he went to the military camp to meet Liu Xun and the others. They did not tell Xin Zhao anything important. When he returned in the evening, Xu Fan was already waiting for him. After Zhao Xin arranged his matters, Lu Xun rushed over again. Seeing that Lu Xun was unhappy every day, but he still insisted on coming to Zhao Xin's place, Zhao Xin was worried that something would happen to him if he continued like this. It seemed that he had to help him solve his great-uncle's problem before he could get better.
Thinking of something, Zhao Xin said to Lu Xun," Xun 'er, do you know the miracle doctor Hua Tuo? I've seen your uncle's illness. He might be the only one who can cure it. Go back and tell your mother to send someone to look for him. If she can find Hua Tuo, your uncle might be saved." "
Lu Xun was overjoyed when he heard that. He didn't even have time to say anything before he flew back.
That night, Xue Wei and Zhou Yi quietly visited. Xin Zhao let them into the room and motioned for Xu Fan to keep watch.
"General Zhao asked us to come over. What's the matter?" Xue Wei asked. "Zhou Yi also looked at Zhao Xin with anticipation.
Zhao Xin said,"I asked the two of you to come here to discuss how to deal with Liu Xun, Li Feng, and the others." I don't know if General Xue has found out about Gu He's intentions. This is very important to us. If Gu He is willing to stand on our side, we will have a greater chance of dealing with Liu Xun. If he stands on Liu Xun's side, we will have no chance at all. "
"I talked to him," Xue Wei said."I think he means that no matter what, he will maintain a neutral position and not help either side." "
Zhou Yi said," This guy always thinks that he's from a noble family. It's as if he's one class higher than others and looks down on everyone. However, the Lu family is on good terms with the Gu family. If he doesn't give us face, doesn't he give the Lu family face too?" "
Xue Wei said," The Lu family of River East is now a candle in the wind. The Lu family only has Governor Lu, Young Master Lu, and some collateral descendants left. They don't have the glory of the past. It's already good enough that the Gu family doesn't hit them when they're down." "
Zhao Xin said,"That's right, but I believe that the Lu Clan will prosper again in Xun 'er's generation." Since Gu He wants to watch from the sidelines, it's not bad for us. It's much better than him stabbing us in the back. However, we have to guard against him. "
"General Zhao, Liu Xun and the others are powerful now. To be honest, I don't have the slightest confidence in dealing with them. However, for the sake of Mayor Lu's kindness, General Zhou and I have decided to go all out." However, he was worried about Young Master Lu Xun and Madam Lu. If anything were to happen, he would have to ask General Zhao to take care of them. "
Zhao Xin smiled and said,"Don't worry, I never do things that I'm not confident in. Since I've found you, I must have a way to deal with them." Xue Wei and Zhou Yi's eyes lit up at the same time. Zhao Xin continued,"I think Liu Xun's intention is to make a move on the day when Governor Lu goes west. At that time, he will definitely send someone to take over your military power. "We'll take this opportunity to make our move. The two of you should go back and choose some trusted men from the camp. When the time comes, we'll ambush them in the mourning hall of Governor Lu. At that time, most of Liu Xun's men will definitely be there. We'll kill all of Liu Xun's henchmen in one strike. As for Liu Xun, if he doesn't dare to go himself, I believe that he will definitely send someone to look for me that day. At that time, I will be responsible for dealing with him. Although we can kill Liu Xun and his gang, Lujiang will definitely be in chaos. We have to be wary of people taking advantage of the situation. We have to send people to protect Xun 'er and his son. Do you think this plan is feasible? "
After Xue Wei heard this, he said," General Zhao, you've thought it through. I can't compare to you. However, when the time comes, Lujiang might really be as chaotic as General Zhao said. At that time, I hope General Zhao can teach me how to clean up this situation!" "
Xin Zhao thought to himself that Xue Wei was quite capable. He said to Xue Wei,""Our current situation is bad. We can only take it one step at a time. Moreover, even if we calculate everything, there may be changes when the time comes. As the saying goes, do your best and leave it to fate. As long as we do our best, we will be able to live up to Mayor Lu and our conscience. "
At this moment, Zhou Yi started to show concern for Zhao Xin. He said,"I'm afraid you won't be able to deal with Liu Xun alone. Even if you kill Liu Xun, you won't be able to escape. "
Zhao Xin thought to himself,'Who would personally assassinate Liu Xun? Do I even need to do it myself to kill a small character like Liu Xun?' I'm just saying. When the time comes, I'll have my men take care of it.
Xue Wei also said,"General Zhao is such a talent. He must not be buried with Liu Xun. At that time, Young Master Lu will probably need General Zhao to assist him. Why don't we send someone else to assassinate Liu Xun?" "
Zhao Xin thought that Liu Xun must have protected him well at that time. With your subordinates, they would probably be killed before they could even get close to Liu Xun. Moreover, he had other plans. It would be best if he could capture Liu Xun, Li Feng, and the others so that Lujiang would not be in chaos. He said to Xue Wei,"When the time comes, Liu Xun's protection will definitely be tight. Only I can get close to Liu Xun, so this matter is definitely mine." "
The two of them thought that it was really so. They nodded silently and looked at Zhao Xin as if Zhao Xin had become great.
Actually, Zhao Xin didn't think that this plan would succeed. At that time, they would probably have to fight each other. If a few people slipped through the net, Lujiang would immediately fall into chaos. He thought that he had to make some arrangements in advance. So he said to the two of them,"Be careful that some people will not be present on that day. Please take charge of the army, General Xue. General Zhou will arrange everything in the Lu Mansion." "
After the two of them left, Zhao Xin thought to himself that if the two of them and his 500 soldiers outside the city really got into chaos, they would definitely not be a match for Liu Xun's side. It seemed that they would have to rely on Hefei's soldiers.
He asked Xu Fan to send someone to inform Zhao Yun to take advantage of the chaos in the city these few days to arrange for 500 soldiers to enter the city in batches and hide. He believed that it would not be difficult to hide in a place like Zhao Da in Lujiang. He also sent someone to receive the people from Hefei.
After arranging everything, Zhao Xin heaved a sigh of relief.
Gradually, the situation became worse. Lu Kang's condition was getting worse. Lu Xun sent a message saying that he would probably die in the next one or two days. Xin Zhao had a bad feeling. The people from Hefei had not arrived yet. It seemed that he could only risk his life by using his troops. He could only carry out his plan to assassinate Liu Xun. In the past two days, Zhao Xin had sent people to observe Liu Xun's every move. He had sent fifty men to secretly protect Lu Xun and his son. He had asked Zhao Yun to gather the remaining soldiers near Liu Xun's residence so that it would be easier for them to act when the time came. Xin Zhao silently prayed that Liu Xun would come looking for him. Otherwise, if he ran into the army, no one could do anything to him.
###################################
The next day, when he arrived at the army, he found that the five hundred men under his command had all been replaced by a group of passable people. However, in Xin Zhao's eyes, it was far from enough. It was still far inferior to Xin Zhao's soldiers. He thought to himself that Liu Xun seemed to be sincerely trying to rope him in. Otherwise, he would not have done this so quickly. However, Zhao Xin was too lazy to personally train them. Anyway, he was leaving in a few days. Shouchun would probably send someone to pick him up in a few days.
When he saw Gu He, his initial indifference turned into disdain. Zhao Xin was stunned for a moment, but he immediately understood that he had been tricked by Liu Xun. After the transfer of troops, the entire army probably knew that he had sided with Liu Xun.
He had nothing to do for the entire day. When he saw Liu Ying and the others, he had a friendly expression. Zhou Yi looked at him and it was obvious that he was not friendly. Xue Wei still had a friendly expression. In these two days, Zhao Xin had a rough understanding of his generals. Among them, only Xue Wei and Guan Fu were worthy of Zhao Xin's attention.
At night, Zhou Yi and Xue Wei came to visit Zhao Xin. Zhao Xin thought that it seemed that these two people had not given up on him and wanted to persuade him. However, his actions were not what the two of them expected.
Before he could sit properly, Zhou Yi had already stepped forward and said to Zhao Xin,"General Zhao, how can you face Mayor Lu by doing this? "
Zhao Xin pretended to be baffled and said,"General Zhou, what are you talking about? Zhao Yan doesn't understand. If there's anything, please tell Zhao Yan Ming." "
Zhou Yi snorted and said,"You know what it is. Do you still want me to say it out loud?" "
"Zhao Yan really doesn't understand. General Zhou, please tell Zhao Xin!" Zhao Xin said sincerely. "
"Let me ask you. Governor Lu treated you like this, so why did you go to Liu Xun, that bastard?" "
Zhao Xin thought that although this person was rude, his loyalty was commendable. He pretended to be surprised and said,"General Zhou, why do you say this? Why did you say that Zhao Yan defected to General Liu Xun? "
Zhou Yi said,"If you hadn't joined him, would he have changed the weak soldiers under your command and even transferred an elite team to you?" "
Zhao Xin replied,"General Zhou, you misunderstood. Zhao Yan was only telling General Liu Xun that the soldiers under my command were too weak. Therefore, General Liu gave me a change for the sake of Governor Lu." "
Zhou Yi said,"You're lying to a ghost. Liu Xun, that bastard, values his soldiers more than his father. Just based on your words, he will give you five hundred elites." "
Xin Zhao thought to himself that these 500 people were not considered elites. In his eyes, they were just trash. He said to Zhou Yi,"If the general doesn't believe me, then Zhao Yan has no choice." "
Xue Wei had not made a sound since he came in. He only watched Zhou Yi question Zhao Xin. Seeing that Zhou Yi, this boorish man, was far from being Zhao Xin's match, he had no choice but to come out and say something. He said to Zhao Xin,"General was recommended by Governor Lu to serve in the army. Naturally, you should serve Governor Lu. Now that Liu Xun is plotting to seize Lujiang, General must not be deceived and sit down to do something wrong that goes against righteousness! "
Zhao Xin said," I have been indebted to Governor Lu for his kindness. I will do my best to repay him. General Liu is my superior, so I naturally have to respect him. I'm not like some people who have no respect for their superiors." "After saying that, he glanced at Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi knew that Zhao Xin was talking about him and was about to flare up, but Xue Wei quickly stopped him. Xue Wei saw that Zhao Xin's words were ambiguous and he couldn't guess Zhao Xin's true intentions, so he said,"General, think about Young Master Lu and Madam Lu. I won't say anything else. "After saying that, she pulled Zhou Yi and left.
Xin Zhao watched the two of them walk out and thought to himself, This Xue Wei is really amazing. After saying such a sentence, he left without even waiting for me to say anything. Even if it was someone else, they would probably have to think carefully at this moment.
Not long after the two of them left, Lu Xun ran over to see Zhao Xin. Looking at Lu Xun's expression, Zhao Xin felt a little uncomfortable. He patted Lu Xun's head and said,"Xun 'er, how's your uncle these past two days? "
Lu Xun thought to himself,"She's still the same. She can't even get out of bed." "
Zhao Xin sized up Lu Xun and said,"Xun 'er, do you know who will be in charge of the government affairs of Lujiang City after your great-uncle fell ill?" "
Lu Xun raised his head and said," I know. General Liu Xun and my great-uncle's aides will handle it. What's wrong, Uncle Zhao?" "
Xin Zhao thought to himself that this kid was too sensitive. He had only asked one question, and he had already noticed that there was a problem. Little did he know that ever since Lu Xun was saved by Zhao Xin, he had a little admiration for Zhao Xin. When he saw Zhao Xin asking about these things, he knew that he must have a point. Otherwise, he would not ask about these things for no reason.
Zhao Xin pondered for a while before asking Lu Xun,""Xun 'er, I'm talking about what if, if one day your great-uncle is no longer around, what plans do you and your mother have? "
Seeing that Lu Xun's eyes had turned red and tears were already welling up in his eyes, Zhao Xin hurriedly said,"Xun 'er, don't take it to heart. I was just talking nonsense. "
Lu Xun said,"Uncle Zhao, I know you're not talking nonsense. I once secretly heard the doctor say that my great-uncle's illness won't last long. It's just that my mother and I don't dare to think about these things." "
Zhao Xin looked at Lu Xun's appearance and sighed in his heart. Could it be that this was just an eleven or twelve year old child? She pitied him in her heart and said,"Xun 'er, don't worry. If that day really comes, your Uncle Zhao will take care of you and your son." "
Lu Xun was touched. Tears rolled down his face as he nodded silently.
In the next few days, Lu Kang gradually became seriously ill. Liu Xun and the others also stepped up their plans to seize Lujiang. Sometimes, they would also look for Zhao Xin to secretly discuss things. Zhao Xin knew that Liu Xun did not trust him very much, so he tried his best not to stand out. He did not give them any advice and just listened quietly. Sometimes, Liu Xun would ask Zhao Xin for his opinion on certain matters, and Zhao Xin would always go along with Liu Xun's wishes.
One day, Liu Xun sent someone to invite Zhao Xin to his residence, saying that he had an important guest to see. Zhao Xin didn't suspect anything and went to the Liu Residence.
When they arrived at the Liu Residence, Liu Xun said to Zhao Xin,""General Zhao, I invited you here today because a big shot is coming to Lujiang. When the time comes, you can meet him and make friends. It will be of great help to your future. "
At this moment, Zhao Xin was shocked. From Liu Xun's tone, it seemed that he was not the main person in this plot to seize Lujiang. So it turned out that there were other forces who wanted to seize Lujiang. It was a pity that Liu Xun, this bastard, did not reveal anything these days. Zhao Xin couldn't help but ponder. Who would want to seize Lujiang? Besides him, it would be Liu Biao and Yuan Shu. Liu Biao and Lujiang were separated by Jiujiang and Yuan Shu, so he probably wouldn't do such a meaningless thing. Moreover, Liu Biao had never been aggressive, so he probably wouldn't do such a thing. However, it was unlikely for Yuan Shu. If he got Lujiang and became his neighbor, he would probably be scared every day. After thinking for a long time, he couldn't figure out who it was. On second thought, he scolded himself for being an idiot. He would know when he met that person. Why did he have to waste his time guessing?
"My lord, I don't know who is coming, so I can be mentally prepared to avoid any mistakes." "
"It's Yuan Gonglu's trusted aide, Lord Li Feng," Liu Xun said. "
Xin Zhao thought that he had heard of Li Feng before, but he had never heard of him in the Three Kingdoms. Where had he heard of him before? After thinking about it carefully, he was shocked. This Li Feng should have escaped from his hands in Hefei. It seemed that he knew him. Once he came, wouldn't his identity be exposed? At that time, he might not be able to save his life. It seemed that he had to find an excuse to leave this place as soon as possible.
He quickly said to Liu Xun,"Forgive Zhao Yan for being ignorant, but he has never heard of Lord Li's great name." "
Liu Xun smiled, thinking that Zhao Yan was really honest. He said,""You haven't been in Lujiang for long, so it's normal that you haven't heard of him. As long as you make friends with him, you don't have to care about anything else. "
After saying that, everyone sat down and waited for Li Feng's arrival. Zhao Xin thought about it, but he couldn't think of a reasonable excuse. Just as he was vexed, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind. Li Feng should have come to Lujiang secretly. He should be able to find an excuse from this point. After thinking for a while, he said,"My lord, something bad has happened. Lu Xun will come to find me today. If he knows that I'm coming to my lord's residence, I'm afraid he will come here to look for me. At that time, I'm afraid he will die."
She wanted to see Liu Xun's reaction before she finished her sentence.
These days, Liu Xun and the others also knew that Lu Xun was very attached to Zhao Xin. He would look for Zhao Xin almost every day.
Liu Xun thought that if Lu Xun came and saw Li Feng, it would probably affect his plan. He might as well let Zhao Yan go back first. After all, without Zhao Yan, it would not affect the big plan. "How could I have forgotten about this matter? How about this, you should hurry back. Anyway, Lord Li will be staying in Lujiang for a period of time. We will meet again in the future." "
When Zhao Xin bid farewell and came out, he saw a carriage coming towards the Liu Residence not far away. It was probably Li Feng. He thought,"That was close."
When he returned and Lu Xun came over, Zhao Xin instructed Lu Xun to look for him every night. This way, he would have an excuse not to see Li Feng. He probably wouldn't dare to show himself in broad daylight.
Zhao Xin had been living in fear for the past two days. He wanted to escape from Lujiang, but when he thought of Lu Xun's lonely appearance, his heart softened. He made up his mind to settle the matter in Lujiang before leaving.
That night, Zhao Xin and Lu Xun were just about to go to bed after chatting when they suddenly heard the sound of something heavy falling to the ground in the courtyard. He grabbed his sword and ran out to take a look. He saw someone in the courtyard looking around. Xin Zhao was bold and said to the man,""Who are you and why are you here? "
When that person heard Zhao Xin's voice, he suddenly wanted to rush towards Zhao Xin.
Xin Zhao warily waved the sword in his hand. That person spread out his hands, indicating that he did not have a weapon. However, Xin Zhao would not let his guard down just like that. The man took a few steps closer and looked at Zhao Xin carefully. He suddenly knelt down and said,"My lord, this subordinate greets my lord! "
"Who are you? Why do you call me that?" Zhao Xin asked in surprise. "
"I am Xu Fan, a subordinate of General Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong. I have been ordered to sneak into Lujiang City to search for my lord." "
"How did Zilong know I was in Lujiang?" Zhao Xin asked suspiciously. "
Xu Fan replied,"My lord, when General Xu Chu arrived at the boundary of Hefei, he sent someone to tell General Zhao Yun that my lord is currently in Lujiang and asked General Zhao Yun to send someone to protect my lord." "
"You just said you were under Zilong's orders. Did Zilong come to Lujiang?" Zhao Xin asked. "
Xu Fan said,"My lord, when General Zhao Yun heard that you were in Lujiang, he was very anxious. After arranging the defense of Hefei, he personally brought 500 elite soldiers to Lujiang." "
"Where is Zilong now?" asked Zhao Xin. "
Xu Fan replied," My lord, General Zhao Yun is outside the city. He's afraid that someone in the city will recognize him, which will hinder my lord's plans. Therefore, he sent his subordinates and more than ten people to the city to find my lord." "
Zhao Xin pondered for a moment, thinking that Zhao Yun had come at the right time. With Zhao Yun's 500 troops, he could fight with Liu Xun, Li Feng, and the others in Lu Jiang City. Perhaps he could even easily take down Lu Jiang City. However, it seemed that he had to talk things over with Xue Wei and Zhou Yi. With their help, he would be able to do something. Moreover, he did not have to worry about being recognized by Li Feng. When necessary, he would publicly break up with Liu Xun. He said to Xu Fan," You and your companions go back first. Tell Zilong that I still have something to do in Lujiang City. I can't go back now. I have something to ask Zilong to do. After you go back and tell Zilong these things, come back and be responsible for the communication between me and Zilong." "
Xu Fan said "yes" and left. Zhao Xin saw that his skills were not bad and thought that Zhao Yun's subordinates were really talented.
These days, Zhao Xin had a rough understanding of the power situation of the entire Lujiang River. Led by Liu Xun, Liu Ying, Zhang Li, Qin Hao, and Guan Fu, they formed a party of five. They had about 60% of Lujiang City's soldiers and controlled the west and south gates of Lujiang. Xue Wei and Zhou Yi were loyal to Governor Lu Kang. They had 25% of the troops under them, and the north gate was in their hands. Gu He was a descendant of the Gu family, a large family in River East. He had 15% of the army and the east gate was in his hands. Gu He was a proud person and did not work for anyone. As for the 500 men under Zhao Xin, Zhao Xin believed that Liu Xun must have arranged for quite a number of them. He could not command them at all.
The next day, Xin Zhao decided to look for Xue Wei. When he saw Xue Wei, Xue Wei was obviously stunned when he saw Xin Zhao looking for him. This was because Xin Zhao's actions these days clearly showed that he was on Liu Xun's side.
"Why, General Xue, are you surprised to see me looking for you?" Zhao Xin asked with a smile. "
Xue Wei nodded and said,"I wonder why General Zhao has come to see Xue Wei?" "
"I wouldn't dare," said Zhao Xin,"but I have a question to ask General Xue." "
"General Zhao, you don't have to be so polite. If you have anything to ask, just ask directly," Xue Wei said. "
Zhao Xin said,"I don't know why General Xue and General Zhou are so determined to fight against General Liu Xun. If it's for your own future, I advise you to join General Liu." "
Xue Wei was furious. He thought to himself,'Zhao Yan, you despicable person. It's fine if you don't repay Mayor Lu's kindness, but instead, you conspired with Liu Xun and the others to seize Mayor Lu's foundation. Now, you're trying to recruit me and Zhou Yi.' If Zhou Yi and I were like you, Zhao Xin, I'm afraid we would have long since voted for that bastard Liu Xun. He said coldly,"I appreciate your kindness, General Zhao. However, I have received the great kindness of Governor Lu. I will never go against Governor Lu. General Zhao, you don't have to waste your breath. You can leave now." Also, I advise you not to go to General Zhou's place, lest you lose face. "
Seeing Xue Wei's reaction, Xin Zhao was very satisfied. He smiled and said to Xue Wei,"I came to discuss important matters with General Xue, but General Xue treated me like this. I'm really disappointed in Zhao Yan. "
Xue Wei couldn't help but curse,"That's called a bullsh * t big deal. Isn't it because you want to rely on Liu Xun and seek fame and wealth? "
Zhao Xinxin thought that it should be enough. He smiled and said,"When did General Xue see me join that Liu Xun? "
When Xue Wei heard this, he was obviously stunned. At this moment, Zhao Xin's tone was not even respectful to Liu Xun. Instead, it was a little mocking. He stuttered,"Don't tell me you're a coward"
Zhao Xin knew that Xue Wei had already guessed his meaning, so he nodded and said," It doesn't matter if General Xue believes it or not. I'm here to discuss with General Xue how to deal with Liu Xun and the others. Moreover, I'm afraid General Xue doesn't know that Liu Xun isn't the mastermind. The mastermind behind this is actually someone else. "
"Who is it that wants to seize Lujiang?" Xue Wei asked in shock. "
Zhao Xin said," It's Jiujiang's Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu's subordinate, Li Feng, is currently in Liu Xun's residence. If you don't believe me, you can send someone to investigate. However, don't alert the enemy." "
When Xue Wei saw Zhao Xin reveal such confidential information, he knew that Zhao Xin could be trusted. It was just that the enemy was powerful now, and with Zhao Xin, a person without power or influence, he could not be of much use.
Looking at Xue Wei's expression, Zhao Xin knew that he did not have much confidence in dealing with Liu Xun. In the past, he had only been holding on with his hot blood. Now that the enemy had added Yuan Shu and the other dukes, it was likely that everyone was powerless. She wanted to tell him her true identity, but on second thought, she felt that it was inappropriate. Although she believed that Xue Wei would not have any ulterior motives towards her, it was still better to be safe. Moreover, he was here now. If something really happened, she had nowhere to run. If she wanted to say it, she had to say it in her own place. She could only say it when he was in her control. Moreover, if he suddenly told him his identity, it was still a question whether he would believe it. He might even treat him as a mental patient.
"I naturally trust General Zhao. I'm afraid that when the time comes, I'll need your help to deal with that traitor Liu Xun." "
Xin Zhao knew that Xue Wei didn't have much confidence now, so it was useless to say anything. He said,"General Xue and General Zhou, find a time to come and find me secretly. We'll have a detailed talk then. I can still get some useful information from Liu Xun, so it's not appropriate to break up with him publicly now. In addition, General Xue might as well go and probe Gu He's intentions. Just be careful. Perhaps Gu He will stand on our side. "
Xue Wei expressed that he would make a trip to Zhao Xin's place with Zhou Yi as soon as possible. Gu Hela would also carefully sound him out.
After returning to the residence and dealing with Lu Xun, the "problem" boy, Zhao Xin thought about how to deal with them. Since he was not alone now, why not let Zhao Yun send people back to bring more people? At that time, he would be more confident in dealing with them. Judging from Liu Xun's recent tone, he might have to wait until Lu Kang died. Now, it depended on whether Lu Kang could hold on until his men arrived. Otherwise, there was little chance of winning. However, he had to discuss this matter with Xue Wei and the other two first. Otherwise, they would think that he was also going to get his hands on Lujiang. If there was any misunderstanding, it would be difficult to cooperate well, even though he really had intentions towards Lujiang.
In the middle of the night, he suddenly heard knocking sounds coming from outside the window. Zhao Xin stood up vigilantly with a weapon in his hand and asked,"Who is it? "
"My lord, it's me, Xu Fan." "
Zhao Xin thought to himself, Xu Fan always comes and goes like a ghost. Why does he always scare me for no reason? He said to the window,"Wait here, I'll open the door for you. "
After letting Xu Fan in, Zhao Xin closed the door. "Thank you, my lord," said Xu Fan. "
Zhao Xin said,"I'm fine, but I'm a little worried about you. It's so late at night. It's been hard on you." "
With Zhao Xin's words, Xu Fan felt that whatever he did for his lord was worth it. He said to Zhao Xin,""My lord, General Zhao Yun ordered me to bring fifty men back to the city to protect you. I was afraid that you would be anxious from waiting, so I rushed back first to inform you. I asked them to secretly disguise themselves and enter the city tomorrow. "
Zhao Xin thought that Zhao Yun had good intentions, but how would he arrange for these fifty people? He had no place to arrange for them here. At that time, people would see that there was something wrong with them at a glance.
Seeing Zhao Xin remain silent, Xu Fan did not dare to make a sound.
After thinking for a while, Zhao Xin smiled bitterly and said,"I don't have any place to arrange for these 50 people to come in!" "
Xu Fan saw that Zhao Xin was obviously thinking about this question, so he said to Zhao Xin," My lord need not worry. General Zhao Yun has already considered this problem, so they will disguise themselves and ambush around my lord's residence. "
Zhao Xin thought to himself, It seems that Zhao Yun is really a great general, considering all the problems for me. Remembering that he wanted Zhao Yun to send someone to Hefei to bring some soldiers, he said to Xu Fan,""Tomorrow, send someone back to tell Zilong to send someone back to Hefei to bring a thousand soldiers to Lujiang. Tell them to split into two groups and quietly come to Lujiang. He glanced at Xu Fan and said,"You can stay here for the night. When dawn comes, you can secretly drive out of the city. When the time comes, I will arrange for you to be a steward in the mansion. At that time, you can stay here openly and be responsible for contacting Zilong." "
Xu Fan didn't dare to refute Zhao Xin's words. He obediently walked to the door and stood there.
Seeing him like this, Xin Zhao held his weapon and was on full alert. He knew that he was going to keep watch for him, so he said,"You don't have to be nervous. It's still relatively safe here. Besides, no one knows my identity now. You can rest in peace. You don't have to keep watch for me. After saying that, she ignored him and went to sleep.
When she woke up in the morning, Xu Fan had already left. After Xin Zhao finished washing up, he went to the military camp to meet Liu Xun and the others. They did not tell Xin Zhao anything important. When he returned in the evening, Xu Fan was already waiting for him. After Zhao Xin arranged his matters, Lu Xun rushed over again. Seeing that Lu Xun was unhappy every day, but he still insisted on coming to Zhao Xin's place, Zhao Xin was worried that something would happen to him if he continued like this. It seemed that he had to help him solve his great-uncle's problem before he could get better.
Thinking of something, Zhao Xin said to Lu Xun," Xun 'er, do you know the miracle doctor Hua Tuo? I've seen your uncle's illness. He might be the only one who can cure it. Go back and tell your mother to send someone to look for him. If she can find Hua Tuo, your uncle might be saved." "
Lu Xun was overjoyed when he heard that. He didn't even have time to say anything before he flew back.
That night, Xue Wei and Zhou Yi quietly visited. Xin Zhao let them into the room and motioned for Xu Fan to keep watch.
"General Zhao asked us to come over. What's the matter?" Xue Wei asked. "Zhou Yi also looked at Zhao Xin with anticipation.
Zhao Xin said,"I asked the two of you to come here to discuss how to deal with Liu Xun, Li Feng, and the others." I don't know if General Xue has found out about Gu He's intentions. This is very important to us. If Gu He is willing to stand on our side, we will have a greater chance of dealing with Liu Xun. If he stands on Liu Xun's side, we will have no chance at all. "
"I talked to him," Xue Wei said."I think he means that no matter what, he will maintain a neutral position and not help either side." "
Zhou Yi said," This guy always thinks that he's from a noble family. It's as if he's one class higher than others and looks down on everyone. However, the Lu family is on good terms with the Gu family. If he doesn't give us face, doesn't he give the Lu family face too?" "
Xue Wei said," The Lu family of River East is now a candle in the wind. The Lu family only has Governor Lu, Young Master Lu, and some collateral descendants left. They don't have the glory of the past. It's already good enough that the Gu family doesn't hit them when they're down." "
Zhao Xin said,"That's right, but I believe that the Lu Clan will prosper again in Xun 'er's generation." Since Gu He wants to watch from the sidelines, it's not bad for us. It's much better than him stabbing us in the back. However, we have to guard against him. "
"General Zhao, Liu Xun and the others are powerful now. To be honest, I don't have the slightest confidence in dealing with them. However, for the sake of Mayor Lu's kindness, General Zhou and I have decided to go all out." However, he was worried about Young Master Lu Xun and Madam Lu. If anything were to happen, he would have to ask General Zhao to take care of them. "
Zhao Xin smiled and said,"Don't worry, I never do things that I'm not confident in. Since I've found you, I must have a way to deal with them." Xue Wei and Zhou Yi's eyes lit up at the same time. Zhao Xin continued,"I think Liu Xun's intention is to make a move on the day when Governor Lu goes west. At that time, he will definitely send someone to take over your military power. "We'll take this opportunity to make our move. The two of you should go back and choose some trusted men from the camp. When the time comes, we'll ambush them in the mourning hall of Governor Lu. At that time, most of Liu Xun's men will definitely be there. We'll kill all of Liu Xun's henchmen in one strike. As for Liu Xun, if he doesn't dare to go himself, I believe that he will definitely send someone to look for me that day. At that time, I will be responsible for dealing with him. Although we can kill Liu Xun and his gang, Lujiang will definitely be in chaos. We have to be wary of people taking advantage of the situation. We have to send people to protect Xun 'er and his son. Do you think this plan is feasible? "
After Xue Wei heard this, he said," General Zhao, you've thought it through. I can't compare to you. However, when the time comes, Lujiang might really be as chaotic as General Zhao said. At that time, I hope General Zhao can teach me how to clean up this situation!" "
Xin Zhao thought to himself that Xue Wei was quite capable. He said to Xue Wei,""Our current situation is bad. We can only take it one step at a time. Moreover, even if we calculate everything, there may be changes when the time comes. As the saying goes, do your best and leave it to fate. As long as we do our best, we will be able to live up to Mayor Lu and our conscience. "
At this moment, Zhou Yi started to show concern for Zhao Xin. He said,"I'm afraid you won't be able to deal with Liu Xun alone. Even if you kill Liu Xun, you won't be able to escape. "
Zhao Xin thought to himself,'Who would personally assassinate Liu Xun? Do I even need to do it myself to kill a small character like Liu Xun?' I'm just saying. When the time comes, I'll have my men take care of it.
Xue Wei also said,"General Zhao is such a talent. He must not be buried with Liu Xun. At that time, Young Master Lu will probably need General Zhao to assist him. Why don't we send someone else to assassinate Liu Xun?" "
Zhao Xin thought that Liu Xun must have protected him well at that time. With your subordinates, they would probably be killed before they could even get close to Liu Xun. Moreover, he had other plans. It would be best if he could capture Liu Xun, Li Feng, and the others so that Lujiang would not be in chaos. He said to Xue Wei,"When the time comes, Liu Xun's protection will definitely be tight. Only I can get close to Liu Xun, so this matter is definitely mine." "
The two of them thought that it was really so. They nodded silently and looked at Zhao Xin as if Zhao Xin had become great.
Actually, Zhao Xin didn't think that this plan would succeed. At that time, they would probably have to fight each other. If a few people slipped through the net, Lujiang would immediately fall into chaos. He thought that he had to make some arrangements in advance. So he said to the two of them,"Be careful that some people will not be present on that day. Please take charge of the army, General Xue. General Zhou will arrange everything in the Lu Mansion." "
After the two of them left, Zhao Xin thought to himself that if the two of them and his 500 soldiers outside the city really got into chaos, they would definitely not be a match for Liu Xun's side. It seemed that they would have to rely on Hefei's soldiers.
He asked Xu Fan to send someone to inform Zhao Yun to take advantage of the chaos in the city these few days to arrange for 500 soldiers to enter the city in batches and hide. He believed that it would not be difficult to hide in a place like Zhao Da in Lujiang. He also sent someone to receive the people from Hefei.
After arranging everything, Zhao Xin heaved a sigh of relief.
Gradually, the situation became worse. Lu Kang's condition was getting worse. Lu Xun sent a message saying that he would probably die in the next one or two days. Xin Zhao had a bad feeling. The people from Hefei had not arrived yet. It seemed that he could only risk his life by using his troops. He could only carry out his plan to assassinate Liu Xun. In the past two days, Zhao Xin had sent people to observe Liu Xun's every move. He had sent fifty men to secretly protect Lu Xun and his son. He had asked Zhao Yun to gather the remaining soldiers near Liu Xun's residence so that it would be easier for them to act when the time came. Xin Zhao silently prayed that Liu Xun would come looking for him. Otherwise, if he ran into the army, no one could do anything to him.
